Hydrodynamics of wet particles in liquid-solid fluidized beds using kinetic theory of rough spheres model

To actually describe the flow behaviors of particles in the liquid-solid fluidized bed, the effects of liquid film covered on the particles surface and the sphericity of particles need to be considered for quasi-spherical wet particles. Liquid-solid fluidization characteristics are predicted using a two-fluid model incorporating with the kinetic theory of rough spheres (KTRS) model. Simulation results show that the normal restitution coefficient...
